(Register of the Connecticut Society of the Colonial Danes of America, page 215)
RICHARD BRACKETT (brother or near relative of his contemporary, Peter Brackett) was on record in Boston by 1632 and is supposed to have come in the Winthrop fleet in 1630. He was made a freeman of the Massachusetts Bay Colony 25 May 1636, and a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in 1639. He was appointed keeper of the prison in Boston November 20, 1637, but a few years later he removed to Braintree. He and his wife, Alice, were dismissed the 5th of December 1641 from the Boston church to become members of the church at Braintree, of which he was ordained deacon 21st of July 1642, an office which he held during his lifetime. Braintree (Wollaston, The Mount) had been incorporated in May 1640 and Richard Brackett was an early town clerk. He was a member of the militia company of the town and appointed captain in 1654, a post which he resigned thirty years later (October 15, 1684) being then over seventy. Braintree was raided by the Indians during King Philip's war. For several years previous to the outbreak he had been deputy from Braintree to the General Court and once again, in 1680, was its representative.
In the Braintree records Samuel Tompson, clerk, under the heading: 1690. A record of deaths, made entry: "Captayne Richard Brackett died upon the 3d of March aged 80." (To be read as 3 March 1689/90. See date of probate.) Immediately following is the entry: "Aliss Brackett wife of Capt. Richard Brackett died the 3d of Nov. aged 76." His will was dated January 29, 1688/9 and on the 19th of December 1690 it was presented for probate in Boston. Members of the court before whom the executor and witnesses appeared were Elisha Hutchinson, Samuel Sewall and Isaac Addington, Esqrs.
His wife was named in the will and their son James was appointed sole executor and heir to the Braintree homestead after her death. Bequests were also made to son Peter; children of deceased son John (names not given); children of deceased son Josiah (Elizabeth and Sarah); daughter Hannah Blancher; daughter Rachel Crosby; sons-in-law Simon Crosby (Rachel's husband) and Joseph Tompson (Mary's husband); grandchild Abigail Tompson (whose mother, Mary, had died the 23rd of March 1678/9) and grandchild Hannah Brackett "daughter of my son John." His daughter Sarah, wife of Joseph Crosby (one of the step-sons of the Rev. William Tompson) is not named. Her death, in Crosby family records, is given as "about 1690" and her husband's and daughter Anna's names appear in the will.
The daughter named as Hannah Blancher had been the wife of Samuel Kinsley (Kingsley). Her second husband was Deacon John Blanchard. In 1706 she dyed on July the 3rd at night, killed in an Indian raid in Dunstable (Nashua, N. H.) during Queen Anne's war.

He returned to England, probably in 1633, for a wife, as did a number of other single men during that period, for in the Register of St. Katherine by the Tower, London, as published in 1946, is recorded the marriage of Richard Brackett and Alice Blower, 6 Jan. 1633/4."
